1972 Canadian H-Code 340 Dart Swinger Special Resto - Finally started!
I am sick Cliff, sick of working on this carrrr!!! LOL! Just kidding, I do enjoy when I've got the energy putzing around working on the car. It's rewarding taking a scruffy old part and cleaning it up to look much like it did when the boys in 1972 were putting this car all together at the Windsor plant. Still lots to do so keep plugging along.
And that's some of what I've been doing lately, cleaned up and refurbished some my fuel tank sending unit and mounted my gas tank in place. But first I cleaned the surface really well and tried this product called " Sharkhide Metal Protectant " which was very easy to apply with a cotton rag and hopefully it will protect my tank but time will tell,
I used some thin self adhesive foam on my fuel tank mounting straps hoping that will prevent them from rubbing thru the surface to the steel causing rust,
And cleaned up some parts, blasted off the black paint from my Z-bar and buffed it up with the wire wheel and coated it leaving the bare metal look that Joel thinks is probably correct. Cleaned up my wiper mechanism and installed the Schumacher pivot grease nipples with a shot of grease and cleaned up my tranny crossmember and mount,
A little here a little there
